caeser Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 ME and my pal, Stevie Harper decided last minute on sunday morning to have a crack at the bass in North Wales, while there was a bit of a window in the weather. This is another of my favourite hobbies, bass fishing. Couldn't get hold of any crabs that late, so we took what we had in the freezer which was frozen blacks. Got onto Aberdaron beach about 5pm,conditions looked great, both baited up and casted out. About 10 minutes later I felt the adrenalin twitching 'thump' through the rod which indicated 'basssss', waited a few seconds then the rod arched over. Before long there was a nice 2lb 11oz bass on the beach, glistening in the bright sunlight. This is gonna be good , we thought. Well , we were wrong. That was the only bass caught. First cast too. We had three little coalies and a three bearded rockling , and that was it. We persisted until the early hours of the morning, then realised we were beat. Guess whats for tea. First picture is the bass. The second picture is just to prove that Stevie Harper meant business. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazooka Joe Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 had a couple of undersized ones the other night, and a pair of 10lb+ ones Nice going Worthy, 10+....that's some nice fish. We used to get them on the NE coast off Blyth Power Station, there used to be a hot water outlet, now awol since they pulled the Power Station down. From there up to Druridge Bay we used to catch Bass, but no where near that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
